Hot-coffee Heist Suspect Faces Additional Charge

Boca Raton — A man who is known to use hot coffee as his weapon and was charged last week with several robberies in Palm Beach County now faces an additional robbery charge in Boca Raton, police said.

Errol Anthony Phillip was charged Wednesday with armed robbery, accused of using a knife to rob a convenience store on North Federal Highway on Dec. 12.

Phillip previously was charged with robbing three Dunkin' Donuts restaurants last year, using hot coffee to hurl at clerks, according to court documents.

Boca Raton police said Phillip admitted to robbing the Stop and Go on Dec. 12 and taking cigarettes and a soda. Phillip is in the Palm Beach County Jail. Delray Beach police said Thursday that Phillip is a suspect in at least two robberies.
